The Brouardel Point ( French Pointe Brouardel ) is a headland north of Port Charcot on the west side of the peninsula of Mount Lacroix on Booth Island in the Wilhelm Archipelago off the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula .
Participants in the Fourth French Antarctic Expedition (1903–1905) were the first to map the headland. The expedition leader and polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot named it after the French forensic doctor and pathologist Paul Brouardel (1837-1906) from the Institut de France .
